Earle baronets

There have been two baronetcies created for persons with the surname Earle, one in the Baronetage of England and one in the Baronetage of the United Kingdom. One creation is extant as of 2007.

The Earle Baronetcy, of Craglethorpe in the County of Lincoln, was created in the Baronetage of the United Kingdom on 2 July 1629 for Richard Earle. The title became extinct on the death of the fourth Baronet in 1697.

The Earle Baronetcy, of Allerton Tower in Woolton (South Liverpool) in the parish of Childwall in the County Palatine of Lancaster, was created in the Baronetage of the United Kingdom on 3 November 1869 for the businessman and slaver Hardman Earle.^[1] The Earle family descends from John Earle of Warrington. His son John settled in Liverpool and served as Mayor of the city in 1709. His grandson Thomas Earle was Mayor of Liverpool in 1787. He was the father of William Earle, Mayor of Liverpool in 1836, and of Sir Hardman Earle, 1st Baronet.
